A somewhat chubby but handsome face; a strictness that ties it all together, then an easygoing expression to loosen it all off—that is the charm of Bernard Ross that makes everyone quickly disarm themselves around him. In a way, Riley learned a lot from him.
Out of all the people around him, Bernard was the one to influence him the most. Espionage, manipulation, strategy, combat, tech, and most importantly, ruthlessness—these were the things that Bernard gave him. There was also the fact that the existence known as Darkday only grew to be the way it was because of him.
He enabled Riley to be what he is now, and for that, Riley will always be grateful.
And now, once again, the Bernard of this strange world found him again. Riley doesn't know whether it was just because of the TV, but the Bernard of this world was skinnier than his father; his face too, was completely clean shaven… like he has everything in control.
